Since childhood, I had a fascination with non-verbal communication. What began as a fun activity, turned into an understanding that movement can become a form of communication by expressing emotion, intention, and meaning. Dance felt like it is deeply connected to how the body has the ability to express what cannot be said out loud. My work redefines dance as a visual language of signs and symbols, while the body acts as a lexicon of gestures carrying cultural, emotional, and psychological significance. Drawing from Ballet, Contemporary Dance, and Hip Hop, these three styles provide different forms of expression. 

In the current digital age where most communication takes place over screens, the body is absent from expression. My work places the body back at the centre, as dance is being translated into visual forms, through inkblots, animation, embroidery, photography, and a self-made alphabet, that can be read and interpreted. It is both personal and theoretical because it reflects my experience as a dancer while incorporating semiotics, phenomenology, and embodied cognition to frame movement as a communicative system.
